Stockholm syndrome runs deep in Japanese society. They were utterly beaten and subjugated by the US and now they worship the ground Americans walk on. This fact alone precludes Japan from ever properly atoning for their past since they consider other Asians inferior while they eagerly kiss white ass. Similarly, this also precludes Japan from joining in some pan-Asian alliance since the only way to cure Stockholm syndrome is to first free the victim from its captor - without the victim's help or consent. IMO, I honestly don't care about japan or its future.
